The Free Market Did Not Cause the Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: LewRockwell

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThomas Woods writes: In March 2007 then-Treasury secretary Henry Paulson told Americans that the global economy was “as strong as I’ve seen it in my business career.” “Our financial institutions are strong,” he added in March 2008. “Our investment banks are strong. Our banks are strong. They’re going to be strong for many, many years.” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said in May 2007, “We do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the financial system.” In August 2008, Paulson and Bernanke assured the country that other than perhaps $25 billion in bailout money for Fannie and Freddie, the fundamentals of the economy were sound.

Stock Market Investors Don't Be Fooled by Inflation / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Peter_Schiff

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleStrike up the band, boys, happy days are here again! Recently released short-term economic data, including unemployment claims, non-farm payrolls, home sales, and business spending, which had been so unambiguously horrific in February and March, are now just garden-variety awful. With the Wicked Witch of Depression now apparently crushed under the house of Obamanomics, the Munchkins of Wall Street have sounded the all clear, pushing the Dow Jones up 25% from its lows. But the premature conclusion of their Lollipop Guild economists, that the crash of 2008/2009 is now a fading memory, is just as delusional as their failure to see it coming in the first place.

Nasdaq Q's on the Move / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The PowerShares QQQ Trust (Nasdaq:  QQQQ) slowly climbs to the upside off of its two-day double-bottom formation at 33.88, towards another test of resistance up at 34.74 (this morning’s high).  If the Q’s can claw their way above 34.74 – especially late in today’s session – I will be expecting a powerful upside follow-through that revisits this week’s high at 35.30, possibly on the way to my optimal next target at 36.20/50.  At this juncture only a plunge beneath 33.88 will wreck the still constructive pattern.

Stock Market Pre NonFarm Payrolls Profit Taking Sets In / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleU.S. stocks fell prey to some pre nonfarm payroll profit taking which is hardly surprising given their recent gravity defying stellar up move. Tech and telecom sectors bore the brunt of the selling pressure while retailers were the sole bright spot. Weak demand at yesterday’s Treasury auction also rattled confidence as traders fretted that a rise in yields could choke off refinancing and increase mortgage costs and resets.

Opportunities in Gold, Stocks and Currencies on Increased Global Risk Appetite / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Ashraf_Laidi

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleYou must have read by now that about 70% of activity in currency markets over the last 2 years has been largely driven by risk appetite, with equity indices being the primary independent variable steering FX flows. But there are times when currencies peak or bottom 2-3 days before equities begin to turnaround. The more resounding and recent example was the March 4th bottom in the EURUSD (peak in the US dollar), which occurred 2 days before the low in the major stocks indices.

Is The Stock Market Rally For Real? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market

By: Kingsley_Anderson

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhether we are seeing the beginning of a new bull market or just another bear market rally, the two month upswing has been quite extraordinary.  As can be expected, the perma-bears and perma-bulls are out in full force, arguing their case with the vigor of someone that has a direct line to Nostradamus.  Where do I stand?  While the recent move upward has been encouraging, I have not joined the longs.  Why?

Bank Stress Test Results...Do you Believe the Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: INO

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSince my return from holiday, I have been scratching my head wondering why the market (in this case the S&P) has moved so high for little or no reason. The economy still appears to be very much on the defensive with unemployment rising and the business environment still on a slippery slope.

Stock Market Rally a Symmetrical Correction or Filling the Gaps? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Chris_Ciovacco

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt is always important to understand both the bullish and bearish case. The next step is to have game plans for both outcomes. Positive signals are coming from markets around the globe and from numerous asset classes. We all know the bearish case - we are overdue for a correction, financial crisis, etc. The bullish case is based on improving fundamentals and improving technicals. Chart gaps are part of a potentially bullish technical picture. Gaps exist above several markets - gaps that could be filled before or after a correction.

Correction in Progress for the S&P 500 Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn classic technical fashion, this AM the e-Mini S&P 500 (e-SPM) spiked about 1% above the top of its Apr.-May channel (920) from where it reversed to the downside back beneath the confines of the upper channel line, which much more often than not, is a signal that the most recent upward traverse across the channel is complete- and that a correction already is in progress. The peak at 929.50 ended the upleg from the 4/27 pivot low at 838.50. Since the earlier recovery high, the e-SPM has reversed and declined to an intraday low so far at 908.50.

S&P Above 900 As Stock Markets Dismiss Stress Tests / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAnother day and another 100 points (plus) rise for the Dow, easy isn’t it? The U.S. Government could not have choreographed this better, for the market is now surely inured to the drip-feed of stress test leaks that presumably put the bad news up front. If the stress tests are to be successful, they need to be credible, and they need to impart a message that the financial sector’s capital demands are manageable. On the latter, the aggregate sum looks easily to be within the bounds of the deep pockets of Uncle Sam, and thankfully so, for if we were dependent on private capital it would be a very different proposition.

Stock Market Indices Hold Support and Continue Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices snapped back today and closed with solid gains after a very steep morning sell-off. They came back with a vengeance in a 3-wave rally that saw them reach new highs on the S&P 500 at 920 with about an hour to go. At that point the Nasdaq 100 failed to reach its highs and they sold off, but held the intraday trendlines and snapped back in the last 10-15 minutes to closer higher.

The Current Financial Market Collapse: Contours of Crisis: Fiction and Reality Part II / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Global_Research

Continued from.... The Boundaries of Irrationality

But not all is lost. Convention has it that there is nonetheless order in the chaos, a certain rationality in the irrationality. The basic reason is that greed tends to operate mostly on the upswing, whereas fear usually sets in on the downswing. “We tend to label such behavioral responses as non rational,” explains the ever-quotable Alan Greenspan, “But forecasters’ concerns should be not whether human response is rational or irrational, only that it is observable and systematic.”[Note 25] Regularity puts limits on irrationality; limits imply predictability; and predictability helps keep the faith intact and the laity in place.

The Current Financial Market Collapse: Contours of Crisis: Fiction and Reality Part II / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Global_Research

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleShimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan write: This is the second in our Contours of Crisis paper series. The first article set the stage for the series. It began by outlining the conventional view that this is a finance-led crisis, that this turmoil was triggered and amplified by “financial excesses”; it then described the domino sequence of collapsing markets—a process that started with the meltdown of the U.S. housing and FIRE sectors (finance, insurance and real estate), expanded to the entire financial market, and eventually pulled down the so-called “real economy”; and, finally, it situated the pattern and magnitude of the current decline in historical context.

By: Axel_Merk

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe stress test may be causing more harm than good. Why? Regulators should always have a good assessment of the health of financial institutions.
